Today sees the launch of not one, but two major music products celebrating the ongoing popularity of The Beatles – with both MTV/Harmonix/EA's Beatles Rock Band game and the fab four's entire remastered back catalogue from EMI (on CD) arriving on the shelves.

Apple press event 09-09-09

Interesting timing, what with Apple's 09-09-09 press event later this evening. Stay tuned just after 6.30pm GMT to finally hear the official line.
